C. strenuus. Warn. — Aureo-viridis, cupreo varius ; antennae 

 nigrae, robusta?, subclavatae, thorace paullo breviores, scapo luteo ; 

 abdomen basi cupreum, tborace paullo longius ; oviductus abdoraine 

 longior ; pedes flari, femoribus tibiisque posticis uigricantibus basi 

 apiceque flavis, tarsis pallidissirne flavis ; alee anticae disco pallidissime 

 fuscescentes. C. macroptero affinis ; alae anticae paullo angustiores. 



Female. — Golden green. Head and tborax finely squamous, partly 

 cupreous. Head a little broader tban the thorax. Antennae black,

 and at the tips ; tarsi very pale yellow. Wings pellucid ; veins 

 tawny ; ulna much shorter than the humerus ; radius about one-
